Blue Blood: The Story of Carlisle United is the definitive history of one of English football's most geographically remote, yet emotionally resonant clubs. From its humble Edwardian origins as Shaddongate United to the euphoric heights of top-flight football in 1974, this book charts every twist, triumph, and tribulation of Carlisle United's remarkable journey. Across the decades, Brunton Park has borne witness to promotion glory, relegation despair, and moments that etched themselves into national football folklore-none more dramatic than Jimmy Glass's last-minute goal to save the club in 1999. With vivid storytelling and deep research, this book brings to life the heroes, heartbreaks, and hard-fought battles that have defined Carlisle's identity on and off the pitch. This is a story of resilience and belonging, of the Border City's unbreakable bond with its football club. Whether fighting for league survival, challenging for promotion, or enduring the long winters of exile in the Conference, Carlisle United have stood as a proud beacon of Cumbrian spirit. For supporters, historians, and lovers of the beautiful game, Blue Blood is more than just a club history-it's a tribute to what football means in the farthest reaches of the English game.
